“Sure, like you haven't done that before," Ariana retorted, unafraid. She was used to Sonia's childish antics, but despite her complaints, she still gave a thumbs-up to the latest chapter and rewarded Sonia with 250 roses online.

On this website, rewarding one rose was equivalent to paying one dollar to the author.

On the other end of the line, Sonia was still seething with indignation. But when she saw the reward from Ariana, she let out a laugh.

"I knew you secretly loved my book; you just won't admit it. A charming, warm-hearted beauty like you deserves a man who would fly a helicopter to win your heart!"

Ariana shuddered at the thought of being pursued in such a dramatic fashion. She'd rather move to a different planet than endure that kind of humiliation.
